Microservices, Model-Driven Engineering (MDE), API Governance, Interoperability, Deployment Automation, DevOps

Synopsis

Microservices architecture, while enabling modular and scalable system development, introduces complexities in deployment and interoperability. Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) addresses these issues by offering abstract modeling mechanisms to automate deployment, enforce consistency, and govern APIs. This paper investigates the application of MDE in microservices deployment with a focus on enhancing service interoperability and API governance. It includes a structured literature review, an architecture model, comparative metrics, and use-case data analysis.
